g land of the gastro-hepatic omentum. Much m ore fibrosis is seen here, and the spaces are much smaller. The ce ll s, too, are smaller, and have nuclei which nearly completely fill them. The lining cells of the lymphatics in the fibrous tissue have large nuclei. which stain heavily, and the malignant ce ll s are seen to form channels in some places. The appearances are suggestive of endothelioma. As primary malignant di sease of the liver is a very rare disease, not only in man but also in animals, the notes of this case may prove of interest.
